‘Alcohol-related violence’: Report details surge in crime after cashless debit removal

Sky News host James Macpherson says a new report details how the cashless debit card removal from Indigenous communities led to increased alcohol consumption and misuse. “There has been vindication over the weekend for all those who implored Labor not to scrap the Coalition’s cashless debit card in Indigenous communities,” he said. “The removal of the card has led to a surge in gambling, public drunkenness, and alcohol-related violence.”
